To all whom it may concern: late 7 into it so that when. the composition 55 Bejtlmown that-I, SITUART B. Mooma. of

Algiers, in the parish of Orleans and State of ouisiana; have invented certain newand useful I m rovements in Concrete Buil and I do ereby deida i'b the following to e a full, clear and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to makeand usethesalne I? My invention contemplates an im rovement in concrete wall structures for mess and other buildings Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view showing a wall construction and the manner of securing a rafter thereto. Fi 2 is a horizontal sectional view through the manner of forming the outer faces 0 the'slabs to receive t e coating of plaster. Fig. 4: shows the manner of constructing the well about a. window. Referringto the drawings- I have shown the wall composed of a series of monolithic uprightslabs 1 each provided with vertical I rcing rods 2and. reinforcing rods 2. This makes each of the slabs a column in itself. and allows of handlin the slabs without danger of breaking. ese slabs are preferab y channeled, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so that their open faces are on the interior side of the wall, their lateral surfaces 3 abutting to receive the metal lathing peaster may be a glierl. The lathing may held to the sla s y tie wires 4 shown in Fig. 1. The channels may receive pipes, wiring and switch boxes within read access from the interior. As indicated in ig. 2, columns 5 are to be em loyed at the necessary intervals in the with and these are preferably created by pouring the cement composition between the adjacent slabs and the temporary framing which maybe used. I

By reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that I haveprovided the top-of each of the monolithic s abs 1 with a substantially U shaped groove 6 so that when a series of the slabs is erected to form a wall their tops will constitute a eontinuous'channel for the rece ion of the lintel beam. I create the lintel by pourin the cement composition into the chemo and while this comtposition is yet m a. plastic condition I set e wooden wall 001ml of this patent may-be obtained tc'r ave cent each, by addressing e D- R v o wall units.

as hardened the rafter 8 may be nailed directly to the wall plate. The slabs, in ver- [2108.1 series, extend from foundation to lintel' beam and from lintel beam tolintel beam.

- I also insure the exterior plaster being firmly held to the outer, surface of the slabs.

As shown in detail in Fig. 3 I make-the outer; faces of the slabs of roughenedtor'irg'egiular? formation as. indicat l at 9. This revises a secure anchorage for the plaster 0 and I; have found that :this is a very desirable feature for two reasons. It not onl furnishes a key for the plaster on the sla s but it holds the adjacent slabs together. These" slabs have no overlapping surfaces like bricks set in break joint arrangement; hence the necessity for maintaining them in fixed. relation.

It is manifest that in the formation of windows and doors the lintel beam may be readily dropped so as to give the necessary. height to the opening, the beam being formed by pouring cement composition between adjacont sla s and tempera framin The wall beneath windows may formeg by the use of short slabs.

claim as my invention:

1. A composition building slab compris ing a monolithic unit having a channel formed in its to a lintel formed in said channel by a p astic composition poured therein, and a wall plate embedded 1n said! lintel while the latter is in a plastic condi tion.

2. A- composition building slab comprising a monolithic unit having a substantially U-shape in cross section throughout the major portion of its length and a channel formed in its top, the ho ow side of the slab being on the interior and the list or uninterrupted surface on the exterior, said slab having vertical and horizontal reinforcing rods, and 'a lintel formed in said channel b a. plastic composition poured therein an a. wall plate embedded in said lintel Win16 the latter is'ina plastic condition.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

the Commissioner of Bobcats,

It is hereby certified that in Letters Patent No. 1,305,230, granted May 27, 1919,

upon the application of Stuart B. Moore, of Algiers, Louisiana, for an improvement in Concrete Buildings, an error appears in the printed specification requiring orrection as follows: Line 26, for the word "reinforcing," second occurrence,

read horizontal; and that the said Letters Patent should be read with this correction therein that the same may conform to the record of the case in the Patent Office.

Signed and sealed this 17th day of June, A. 1)., 1919.
